Gmail allow using a + to create faux-labels
I wonder how they handle gmail addresses with dots as you can put dot in anywhere and it still will redirect to your email.
I’ve setup (for few services which don’t allow + sign) emails like foobar@gmail.com, foo.bar@gmail.com, fo.o.bar@gmail.com and they all come to my inbox.
Just to be clear, never said that I used all of those. Just made quick list of most popular apps to use here :P If I had to guess, over 95% of people here just use WhatsApp.
They all have pretty much same functionality what traditional sms is missing.
And US still has very expensive data plans compared to Finland (I pay 21e/month for unlimited 200mbps data, calls, sms). That could also be one factor why SMS is still used there so much 🤔
For voice calls, most use regular phone calls here, it just works better (and VoLTE/VoWiFi is great addition to sound quality). Apps are only used when you are making video calls.
As for messages, it’s much easier to send images/videos via whatsapp/signal than it’s via SMS. + replies/reactions. Probably main reason why people use apps instead SMS (even while many/most of our plans include unlimited data/sms/calls). RCS added those features IIRC, but why switch to another solution while apps works just fine and most of people already are used to Whatsapp 🤷♂️
And most of the people here has Whatsapp installed, so usually you don’t have to guess what app to use :P
Just out of curiosity, how much people still use SMS? I can’t remember last time I sent SMS.
Here in Finland we use mainly Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Telegram or Signal for messaging. Almost no one I know has sent SMS in the last 10 years.
or offer a long lifetime of updates
In Samsung unpacked event Samsung announced that it will extend Android And Security updates to 7 years
Custom ROM has high change to break Widevine DRM L1. And ex. Netflix has better streaming quality on L1 than it has on L3 (1080p vs 480p). At least this was the case few years ago.
And make fine based on income, not just static sum. Works well in Finland.
If they know this case. In other email services dots are usually not a junk characters.
